I will then take the first one apart and put a finish on it. I say "take apart" as both of these basses have bolt on necks that can be raised or lowered for action adjustments, as well as removed completely.  The basic idea was developed by Jim Hamm,  a Vancouver luthier who included a height adjustment into his necks in lieu of an adjustable bridge. I've been using bolt-on necks on my guitars for decades, and it seemed like a great idea for a bass.

      During the building of my first bass, I quickly became involved in double bass repair and it has become a major part of my work.  I routinely do setups, fingerboard leveling, and new  bridges.  I also do major structural repairs, scroll and neck grafts, and extensions.  Most repairs can be done in days, rather than months like many shops.  I'm a bass player and I'm interested in getting you back to your gig with a well setup bass in a reasonable amount of time.

      I love building and repairing basses more than anything I've done in my 30 year career as a luthier. I plan to  continue to build 1 or 2 per year, as well as offer all bassists the highest quality, and fastest turn-around, repair facility that I can.
